There are hundreds of people, of all ages, offering their services to Devon and Cornwall's policing family as volunteers. Special Constables, cadets, independent custody volunteers, all play their part in keeping communities safe and protecting victims.
Alison Hernandez wants to extend the role of volunteers and create more opportunities to help.

In April 2015 the police and crime commissioner took responsibility for the provision of victims services.
The OPCC has joined with Devon and Cornwall Police to create a Victim Care Unit which has day to day responsibility for victim's welfare.
The PCC has also overseen creation of a victim services directory, a focal point offering help and support to victims of crime.

Treasury management strategy

The police and crime commissioner’s objectives for treasury management both investing and borrowing are as follows:

effective management and control of risk is the prime objective;

a high priority to revenue cost stability. This aids stable financial planning and avoids a stop-start approach to service delivery. This means it adopts a relatively low-risk attitude to treasury management, and accepts that this may come at a cost;

the main risks with regard to treasury management activities are security, liquidity and yield risk. The police and crime commissioner’s policies will prioritise the risks in that order of importance, that is highest priority will be given to security, followed by liquidity and then yield;

the police and crime commissioner will pursue best value in treasury management within the context of effective risk management.
